Why Therapy Isn't Working + What We Need To Do Instead

More people than ever have a therapist, yet 1 in 3 US adults report symptoms of depression or anxiety. So what gives? Is therapy even working? I had on a top clinical therapist and she said no, it’s not, but there is something we can do to feel better. Dr. Maytal Eyal is a top practicing psychologist whose writing has been featured in The Atlantic, TIME, Wired, and Psychology Today, and her insights have appeared in NPR, BBC, Vogue, Vox, The Guardian, and Cosmopolitan. In this conversation, we dive into what we can all do instead of 1:1 therapy to feel better, how to know if therapy is working for you, and we answer many of your therapy questions. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • How labeling your experiences might be making your symptoms worse • The science behind the nocebo effect you need to know • 3 signs to know if your therapy is making you better • How to know when self-reflection is actually hurting you • Why your attachment style may not be because of your parents (+ what shapes it more) • What "McVulnerability" is and why you should be aware of it • The skill we should all be focusing on • A research-backed way to feel better in two weeks Check out our NEW YouTube Channel with tons of YouTube exclusive Shorts, exclusive podcast content, and full video episodes: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LizMoodyTV⁠ Check out the previous episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed today: Interview with Dr. Ethan Kross: “Do THIS When You Can't Stop Spiraling: Top Neuroscientist Explains” • Listen on Apple • Listen on Spotify • Watch on YouTube Interview with Dr. Corinne Low: “New Science: Why Women Are So Exhausted + The Surprising Ways to Feel Better” • Listen on Apple • Listen on Spotify • Watch on YouTube For more from Dr. Maytal Eyal: • Substack: https://maytaleyal.substack.com/ • Website: https://www.maytaleyal.com • Twitter/X: https://x.com/maytaleyal Ready to uplevel every part of your life?
